Inside the Pavilion of the Holy Monarch

The emperor defeated the banquet and rewarded the commander of the three armies, Huai Wang Xigong Lone, the deputy marshal Zhao Lengyun, and some capable soldiers.

"Come, this glass of wine I salute you, you are the most heroic soldiers of our Tianmu, this time not only avenged my safety, but also devoured a lot of their land and silver, I think, as long as we take Shigang Kingdom in a hurry, and then have the right to deal with Liuyun, then ...... The grand ambition of dominating the world is just around the corner. The emperor was in a good mood and took the initiative to lift the wine glass.

Xigong Lonely and Zhao Lengyun and a group of people returned to the emperor one after another......

"Lonely, this time, you won the battle, you are the commander, you have made a lot of contributions, what reward do you want?" The emperor smiled and looked at Xigong Lonely and asked.

Xigong Lonely lowered his head, leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, this time, the courtiers can win the battle, all thanks to the assistance of General Zhao's rights, and the emperor will reward General Zhao if he wants to reward him for his meritorious deeds." "It seems that this time Nishinomiya is extremely modest.

couldn't help but make the emperor feel a little more favorable......

"Your Majesty, I can't help it, this time the last general didn't make any effort, and he was able to win the Shigang Kingdom in one fell swoop, all because His Royal Highness King Huai used soldiers like a god and led them well." Zhao Lengyun immediately replied.

"Hehe, you two are modest, I will reward you with 10,000 taels of silver, 10 pieces of fine cloth, and 1 horse of sweat and blood for each horse, how about it?" The emperor was happy and said the reward.

"Wechen, thank you for the emperor's love." Xigong Lonely and Zhao Lengyun immediately knelt down to thank him.

"Your Majesty, why don't you reward the two of them with beauties, there are only BMWs, no beauties, but it's a pity." Ye Anran said half-jokingly on the side.

Unexpectedly, before the emperor could speak, Zhao Lengyun rushed to say: "Your Majesty, you can't help it, the last general already has a wife at home, and the husband and wife are in love, I don't want any beauties, or ...... It's better to be free. ”

Looking at Zhao Lengyun's embarrassed appearance, the emperor smiled: "Zhao Lengyun, are you really serious?" But is the concubine teasing you? ”

"Hehe, it's still the emperor who understands the concubines." Ye Anran smiled mischievously.

Xigong Lonely also smiled and said nothing, it seemed that he had long known that Ye Anran was joking, and he didn't take it to heart at all, he took pity on Zhao Lengyun, he didn't know Ye Anran's temperament, and he took it seriously.

"By the way, Your Majesty, General Jing, who is stationed at the border of Xuechen Kingdom, is about to come back to visit his relatives, can the emperor summon him?" In order to avoid an embarrassing atmosphere, Zhao Lengyun took the initiative to change the topic.

"You're talking about Jing Wuxi?" The emperor asked rhetorically.

"Back to the emperor, exactly, now Jing Wuxian has been stationed on the border of Xuechen for more than three years, and has never returned home once, it can be described as a general for the country and the people, if it is not for his mother's birthday, the emperor has allowed it, he may not come back, these three years, Xuechen has him over there, Queen Xuechen seems to be a lot more honest, and she does not dare to make any small moves, and the money and cattle and sheep that should be paid are also handed over every year." Zhao Lengyun's words reveal his respect for Jing Wuxi.

How could the emperor not understand? Before this Jing Wuxian went to Xuechen Kingdom, he had a good relationship with Zhao Lengyun, and he was really good and loyal, so he didn't need to say it, and the emperor would naturally not treat this general badly.

"I must see him, and I have to entertain him, in the past few years, he has indeed made a lot of contributions to the court." The emperor nodded.

"If General Jing knew that the emperor valued him so much, he would be very happy." Zhao Lengyun said excitedly.

"Well, it's not too early, so you should go back and rest early." Seeing that it was getting late, the emperor gave an order.

"Yes, then Weichen retired." Xigong Lonely and Zhao Lengyun left one after another.

Before Xigong Lonely left, he glanced at Ye Anran deeply, and Ye Anran knew that he had something to say.

"Enron, let's go, we should rest too." The emperor took Ye Anran's hand and walked towards Yanran Palace.

"Your Majesty, it's not good......." Zhu Gonggong walked over with a lantern and reported back.

"What's wrong?" The emperor frowned slightly.

"Over there in Mingyue Palace...... Something happened. "Father-in-law Zhu ran out of breath.

"Mingyue Palace, what's wrong with Yue'er??" Hearing that it was Mingyue Palace, the emperor was a little anxious, after all, he still cared about Xigong Yue's younger sister very much.

"Princess Yue's old illness relapsed, she curled up in the cabinet and refused to come out, and she refused to let the imperial doctor check it, and she died in a hurry."

"Really? Quick, take me to see it. The emperor said and turned around to leave.

"Your Majesty...... Do you need a concubine to come with you? Ye Anran gently grabbed the corner of the emperor's clothes and asked.

"No need, Enron, you have just recovered from a serious illness, and your body is not good, don't toss, good, you go to rest, I won't go tonight." After that, the emperor stroked Ye Anran's hair and turned to leave.

Ye Anran raised the corners of his mouth and smiled...... It's just right not to come, but it suits her heart, because she knows that Xigong Lonely has something to say to herself.

Yanran Palace

"Xiaoguang, you all stand down, the palace is going to rest." waved his hand and sent Xiaoguang and a few palace maids away.

"Yes, then master, you have a good rest, and if you have something, call the slave and maid." Xiaoguang stepped back cautiously.

Ye Anran closed the doors and windows, turned around and entered the small black room dedicated to his sister's spiritual seat, and in the small black room, Xigong Lonely had been waiting for a long time.

"It's getting harder and harder to see you now, if I hadn't found someone to make Xigong Yue sick, I wouldn't have been able to see you tonight." Nishinomiya smiled lonely.

"Nishinomiya Yue was deliberately made by you?" Ye Anran frowned, as if he was a little displeased.

"Yes, if you don't do this, how can you leave the mountain and let the emperor go?" Nishinomiya asked casually.

"But this method is a bit too much, Xigong Yue is already pitiful enough." It seems that Ye Anran does not agree with Xigong Lone's cruel method.

Because when Xigong Yue was ill, she had also seen it, and she was very pitiful, and the whole person was rolled up in a ball, and she didn't dare to see anyone.

"An Ran, when did you become soft-hearted again, have you lived comfortably with the emperor for too long, and forgot all your hatred, is it...... Have you forgotten how your sister died? How did your mother die? Xigong Lonely saw that Ye Anran had sympathy for Xigong Yue, and immediately reminded him.

"I don't need you to remind me, I know very well that this is my sister's spiritual seat." Ye Anran said with a finger in his hand.

Xigong glanced at him: "Then don't be too merciful, remember, being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself." ”

"Find me something, tell me." Since seeing the true face of Xigong Lonely clearly, Ye Anran suddenly felt that there was no longer the feeling of being close to him as a friend before.

"Today, the emperor and Zhao Lengyun mentioned Jing Wuxian, you know, right?" Nishinomiya Lonely doesn't beat around the bush and goes straight to the point.

"Yes, but I'm not familiar with this man." Ye Anran said matter-of-factly.

"In a few days, he will come back, he is a rare talent, but unlike Zhao Lengyun, Zhao Lengyun only obeys the emperor's orders, this Jing Wuxian has not yet clearly shown that he wants to follow him, and now, Xigong Jue also wants to win him over, and the emperor also wants to win him over, and I ...... I want to win over, too. Xigong said slowly.
